Clap, snap or shoutout that's all it takes for your drone to take off!!!

Details

What I wanted to do was command my drone to take off either by a snap, clap, or by actually saying drone fly!! For this first i began with choosing a good sound sensor and adjusting its sensitivity as per requirement. I integrated this sound sensor onto PlutoX board using its breakout board. Since the frequency of the generated sound is very high it becomes difficult for the controller to analyze the data detected as it lasts for a very small interval of time I added a low pass filter to sustain the signal long enough to be acted upon.

Clap to fly

Speak to fly

PlutoX drone made the project easier.

To open drone experimentation to the world, Drona Aviation is crowdfunding for PlutoX on Indiegogo.
